Restrict access to next step in the navigation bar.
Restrict an access to next step in the navigation bar if user didn't change or enter their own data. Right now you can skip steps by clicking in navigation bar and get results without entering any data.
How about instead of just making it impossible to skip ahead, replace the "next" button with a "i'm done" button, and add a warning on the top of the result screen that warns you if you did not click "i'm done" in any section?
I really like this idea! We could also have a small orange dot in the nav bar next to the items that aren't done yet.
Is there some wording we can use that won't make the user think, 'Oh no, I won't be able to come back here to fix things afterwards.' The word 'done' might be a bit confusing.
Idk, that seems like sending mixed messages. How would we simultaneously communicate "you should make sure you didn't miss anything on this page" and "you can come back if you need to"? It's kind of subtle. Maybe the button could say "Done" but have something that pops up when you hover that says, "Don't worry, you can make changes later if you made a mistake"? Or something similar.
Hmm, I'll have to think about it. 'Ready'? If we're using 'Done', maybe the 'Done' button can be replaced by the 'you can make changes' text after it's clicked... not sure.
